2019 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 4MATIC

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 is listed by the auction with a primary damage classification of “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, citing extensive missing front-end components and deformation of the hood and front fenders. The front bumper cover, grille, outer front trim, and both headlamp assemblies are missing. The front cooling components, radiator and condenser area, mounting structures, wiring, and inner fascia are exposed. Several electrical connectors and wiring sections are hanging in the open lower front fascia. Lower air ducting and plastic trim are separated or hanging, with additional lower-front components absent. The hood has broad deformation and uneven contours along its front edge, with irregular gaps above the exposed components. The visible front fender areas are creased and deformed around the wheel arches and front corners. These findings indicate extensive collision-related damage to the front fascia and adjacent body panels. The provided findings do not establish the condition of hidden structural, mechanical, cooling, suspension, steering, or restraint-system components; these areas require a thorough physical inspection and repair estimate. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class sedan, trim CLA250-4M, with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Hungary. NHTSA records list several recalls associated with this model and model year, primarily concerning the emergency-call communication system. These include software or communication-module issues that could disable or misdirect the eCall function, as well as a roof-panel bonding recall applicable to vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof and involving a prior repair. Recall completion and applicability to this specific VIN should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase.
